From moonspeak:
Apparently, the official numbers say that Iranian inflation is 11% and unemployment rate is around 10%, but some analysts say it might be closer to 30%. The price of vegetables already tripled in the past few months while lodging prices doubled since summer. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad got elected on promises to fix the economy and lodging problems, but has been focusing on his Jihad against the West, and both conservatives and "liberals" are getting on his back for backing down from his promises.
Looks like Iran's in for a wild ride... or a WW2 escalation ala Germany.
